I am absolutely loving Veracruz! Although it gets hotter and hotter each day I am so excited to be here and especially excited about my investigators. It is so amazing to see them progress in the gospel and find joy in it. Hugo was confirmed yesterday in Sacrament meeting and just in one week - from his baptism to his confirmation he has changed so much! He is so much happier and is so excited about the gospel and being a member of the church. He also has so much more confidence and is a lot more optimistic! It has been incredible to see the change it has brought his life and I am so excited for all our other investigators to find that change as well. 2 of our other investigators are Mateo and Dulce his 8 year old daught. Dulce is SO excited about the gospel and wants to be baptized so much! It is so cute to see how excited she gets and how much she knows she wants baptism.This week the ward had a talent show and it was quite the production! The Costa Verde ward has a lot of talent! It was so awesome, they had all sorts of skits, dances, poetry, songs...It was awesome! The Hermanas sang too which was fun and also kind of intimidating singing after their amazing talents haha. I absolutely love the ward here, they truely are a ward family. They all hang out together and have so many activities and things. Leonora and Maria Elena are two amazing ward members. They have been members for less than a year but are amazing ward missionaries and they do so much for us Hermanas in the ward. They are the ward members who cordinate our meals with the members but then they also let us use their washing machine and are always trying to find ways to help us. The ward here is awesome and I'm excited to be serving in it and having the opportunity to strengthen it more!The language is coming! Some days are better than others and some people I can understand more than others but just like how the scripture says "Open your mouth and it shall be filled" I truely have a testimony of that and the gift of tongues. It still can be frustrating at times but when I put my trust in the Lord and rely on the spirit to help me people always understand.
I am so grateful for the opportunity to be here and serving in Veracruz! It is so amazing!
